What does the word widow mean to you? This is a question today’s guest thinks we should all be asking because it could use a new definition. In this Financially Ever After Widowhood episode, Stacy Francis speaks with Eloise Bune D’Agostino, the founder of DayNew, a company and community to support people through life-changing events. They discuss the challenges and transformations of life after losing a spouse and how Eloise turned her grief into a powerful support network for others.

Key Takeaways:

  • Eloise shares the story of how, after unexpectedly losing her husband, she connected with another new widow and created a tech company to help others navigate similar situations.
  • Support systems play a huge role in navigating grief. Grief groups can make a profound difference for people.
